<title>Looking to adopt a new *nix</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23302570</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey everybody,

I've never started a topic on here so bear with me, as I bang this one out between calls. :)

I'm looking to adopt a different *nix from Ubuntu seeing as I want to get a little more "in-depth" about linux.

I'm looking for something modern, with a frequent release schedule (rolling release distro maybe?) and hopefully good support for modern hardware.

I would consider myself somewhere between beginner and intermediate, I've compiled a few programs, and I'm not overly terrified of command lines and CLIs.

I was wondering what your preferences were?

I'll be taking your distros, reading up on them on distrowatch and probably installing a few of them on a wired machine.

Thanks again.

<description><![CDATA[So what do you recommend for vnc? Using KDE 4.3 and krfb is just terrible.

<title>Mount directory on access</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23308007</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello,

I am having trouble finding the name of some technology that I have used before.  I will try to describe it the best I can.

I think it is used for organizations with a large amount of users.  You have a home directory that is basically auto mounted when it is accessed.

If you are the only user on the system, /home will only have one directory in it, /home/$USERNAME

But if you know another person's username, you can `cd /home/$OTHER_USERNAME$` and it works even though `ls -a /home` only shows your home directory.

After you go into the directory, `ls -a /home` now shows two directories.  So it wasn't there and now it is.  Or maybe it was hiding there the whole time?

Also, I know that when this type of technology is enabled, tab completions break, presumably because the files are not indexed yet?

Is this a feature of NFS?  Or some other thing I have never heard of.

Thank you]]></description>

<title>Early adopters bloodied by Ubuntu&#x27;s Karmic Koala</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23289301</link>
<description><![CDATA[ quote:Ubuntu 9.10 is causing outrage and frustration, with early adopters wishing they'd stuck with previous versions of the Linux distro.

Blank and flickering screens, failure to recognize hard drives, defaulting to the old 2.6.28 Linux kernel, and failure to get encryption running are taking their toll, as early adopters turn to the web for answers and log fresh bug reports in Ubuntu forums.

...

They're in good company, as more than a fifth of people upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 have reported issues they can't fix, according to an Ubuntuforums.org poll here. Only around 10 per cent of those upgrading or installing reported a completely flawless experience.

Overall, those installing Ubuntu 9.10 on a clean machine are having a slightly easier time than those making the upgrade. Users installing Ubuntu 9.10 were able to solve more of the niggling problems than those trying to upgrade from an older version.
Ouch.

<title>Ubuntu Lucid (Next release; LTS) to sync with Debian Testing</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23276199</link>
<description><![CDATA[This is just starting to pick up fervor within the Ubuntu development community. Typically, as many of you Ubuntu users know, Ubuntu's development releases track Debian Sid. This time, for the next Ubuntu release which is a LTS, it was discussed at the last developer summit that we sync from Debian Testing instead. There is a bit of head-scratching amongst developers going on right now as far as how the logistics of this will work out.

I figure I'd bring this topic up for discussion / heads-up :)

<description><![CDATA[Random fortune from 'computers'

Windows Airlines:
The terminal is very neat and clean, the attendants all very attractive, the
pilots very capable. The fleet of Learjets the carrier operates is immense.
Your jet takes off without a hitch, pushing above the clouds, and at 20,000
feet it explodes without warning.

LOL, how true]]></description>
